Double the 2 m strands for the
drawstring or the handles. Now form them into a U and lay them mirrored on top of each other. Then start with the lark's head knot backwards (the 1.50m strands). See the diagram on the pattern.
Now tie 10 rows with the square knot for the pretty macramé area. The distance between the knots here is about 1 cm. Both parts, fabric and macramé are now connected. Glue the last knots to the fabric with craft glue. Glue 28 knots in the front and 28 knots in the back to the bag.
After drying time, it can be sewn down by hand or sewing machine. Now trim the strands that stick out to one length.
Pull the bag together at the top and see if the handles are long enough. If it is, then knot the ends of the strands.
Bag handle optional
If the handle is too short for you, you can braid extra yarn as we did in the picture and tie it to the handles on the bag with the wrap knot.
